When did this start? Have you made any changes to the system recently? Do you see a blue screen flash for about half a second before the computer restarts? Does it restart at random times, or just when you perform a specific action?

You may find some information about what is going on immediately before a crash by reviewing your event viewer logs.Click Start then right click My Computer and select Manage and click the + for Event Viewer. Have a look at the 2 options System and Application by clicking on each and checking what was going on precisely before the restart. Especially double click on errors to get details. A lot of it will be gobbledigook techbabble but you may find something consistent. Make a point of recording the date and time of each crash (and what was open on your computer at the time). This ought to help sourcing the problem.
